Experiences, notions, successes and fails from 15 years in analog and digital photography!
Hey ho, I just finished the upload for my new Behind the scenes Video (#5) on YouTube. The photo shoot was in late summer 2009 with Dorota Szymanska (you may know her from one of my earlier posts) and it was one of my first assignments I did with several Nikon Speedlites. It was a newspaper photo series of ten politicians for the election to the german parliament (Bundestag). For me it was a great experience, because I photographed ten…
The last days had been very exhausting. I had some appointments for two news-agencies and drove about 1.400 kilometers (850 miles) and often slept less than five hours a night.
